Oh joy. So when this sort of stuff comes to mobile phones, at least when the McDonalds app refuses to start on your pocket general purpose computer (because it's not running software that Google considers 'trustworthy') you'll be able to confidently say that the RTL for the part of the chip that is ultimately responsible for betraying your interests is open source. Surely consolation enough for missing out on your burger discount.

I like to bring up McDonalds as an example because IIRC it requires the highest, 'strong integrity' verdict from SafetyNet/Play Integrity/nom-du-jour. Maybe they should rename it to something with Open in the name when OpenTitan comes to Chromebooks.



"Open" does not mean "open source" anymore thanks to "OpenAI"


It never did, what open source has Open Group ever did?

In the old days Open was about industry standards not source code.


CDE is Open Source :)

But of course, you are correct.


Eventually, after it no longer mattered.
